The Kiros for Congress Fellowship is a hands-on organizing and leadership program for students and young people who want real experience building a people-powered political campaign.

Fellows are not observers; they are the campaign.

What You’ll Do

As a Fellow, you’ll work directly with the campaign across:

• Field & Organizing: Phonebanking, voter outreach, and turnout

• Communications & Digital: Creating and sharing content, storytelling, and message amplification

• Campaign Operations: Supporting events, research, and organizing projects

• Leadership Development: Mentorship from organizers, elected officials, and movement leaders

• You’ll help shape the campaign and learn how modern campaigns are actually won.

Why This Fellowship Matters

This program is designed to:

• Bring new people into politics, not just the usual insiders

• Build organizing skills that last beyond one election

• Expand the electorate in communities too often ignored

• Create a pipeline of future organizers and leaders

• No political experience required. If you care about housing, affordability, democracy, and community—you belong here.
